just for reference will be in and around the back end of standing, with easy access to the bar at the back of the arena. heard there were 6000ish tickets sold so the arena will possibly be around 60% full - not all of them are standing - don't forget there will have been a few touts as well ;)

Somewhat Damaged killed me. Then Terrible Lie picked me up and slapped me round the face with a massive iron hand. My eyes and ears are broken.

I also managed to leave the gig, get to the tram stop, wait there with loads of people for 10 minutes, and get a 20 minute tram and an hour drive home without finding out the CL score. Just finished watching it and I'm sad now.

Anyway yeah, gig was amazing.

Edit: Also, 2R2D, me and my brother saw you during the gig, and he thinks it was you he met at Leeds :P

Thought they were excellent last night, and the setlist was quality. Also standing was a little fuller than I expected, though we still managed to get down near the front :)

I had it on aeroplane mode haha! Had to turn the internet on for Google maps, and knew some I'd get some notification telling me the score, so had to try clearing notifications with my eyes closed. I actually saw one notification starting with "Champions League winners..." and slammed my eyes shut before seeing the rest :lol:

Edit: Also I had two annoying as fuck guys behind me who decided to spend All Time Low going through the Leeds lineup on their phone and discussing every act playing. Why on earth would you do that during a gig?

That London show was pretty special (under-exaggeration). It was show that has boosted NIN to my 'favourite band' for a long period of time.

Thought the pace of the show was excellent.

CLOSER was a great track to include in the setlist (with out sounding too explicit)

MARCH OF THE PIGS was a great track to introduce the rock into the set (definitely broke the mosh pits)

The final five songs turned the show into an industrial-rockers paradise, and they were five songs that ensured the '(head)bangover' for the next day and also me sweating in the mosh as much as Trent was sweating on the stage! (I SWEAR HE MUST SWEAT BUCKETS!)

I would have liked Terrible Lie, We're In This Together and Down In It but that is being ver picky as it was a just such show!

The pacing of the setlists are fucking perfect. I think one more heavy song after the likes of March of the Pigs would actually be too much so something like Piggy really helped to get your breath back. Find My Way was absolutely incredible at The O2 too, such an atmosphere with the lighting and the smoke. I really appreciate Hesitation Marks a lot more now.

But yeah I can usually handle myself at gigs but everyone was just so much stronger than me hahaha Wish was a right rib buster.

The fucking Wretched too

I could go on for days

tl;dr 10/10 gig
